New cards

Continuous measurement

recording data that captures ALL instances of a specified behavior

Frequency- how many times behavior occurred

Duration- how long the behavior occurred

Latency- how long before a response occurred

IRT(Interresponse time)- time b/w two responses (20 seconds in b/w each bite of food)

2
New cards

Discontinuous measurement

recording data in a way that does not capture every instance of a behavior, but rather gives us a snap shot picture of the behavior.

  • partial interval

  • whole interval

  • momentary time sampling

  • permanent product

3
New cards

Partial Interval Recording

A time sampling method in which the behavior is recorded if it occurs ANY time within the time interval

-overestimates behavior

4
New cards

Whole Interval Recording

Recording a behavior only if it happens during the WHOLE interval of time

-underestimates the behavior

5
New cards

Momentary Time Sampling

Records behavior that happens during a designated time during an interval, usually at the very end of the interval

-typically best estimate

6
New cards

Data and graphs

Helps to see how the client is progressing and what changes if any need to be make if progression is not occurring.

-typically line graphs

7
New cards

Preference Assessments

evaluation of child's INTEREST(S) so they can be used as reinforcers in the future.

8
New cards

Single Stimulus Preference Assessment

One item/stimulus is presented at a time and the duration and functionality of the play is measured.

9
New cards

paired stimulus assessment

Placing two potential reinforcers in front of the client and instructing them to pick one, vary which side the item is on, replace the unchosen item with another item and have them choose, rank items based on how much they are chosen

10
New cards

Multiple Stimulus without Replacement

All stimuli presented on 1st trial, after 10-20 seconds of play remove item, selected stimuli removed on subsequent trials, record order of the items selected

11
New cards

Multiple Stimulus with Replacement

Preference assessment in which items are presented in an array and chosen items are returned to the array after the engagement period

12
New cards

ABC Data

helps us make hypotheses about WHY someone is engaging in a behavior.

A- Antecedent

B- Behavior

C- Consequence

13
New cards

Discrete-Trial Teaching

instructor leads the session, activities/reinforcers are LESS natural.

teacher sets it up for them.

14
New cards

Naturalistic Teaching

emphasis on following the client's lead/interest.

the activities are MORE NATURAL.

15
New cards

Chaining

a sequence of steps that make up a larger behavior (EX- washing your hands... taking steps).

16
New cards

Forward Chaining

Begin by teaching the first step in the chain until mastery, all steps follow after

17
New cards

Backward chaining

Begin by teaching the last step in the behavior change until mastery and teaching each subsequent step in the chain

18
New cards

Total Task Chaining

Teaching the entire skill first, then providing reinforcement for the steps that can be completed independently & prompting for that the learner needs help with

19
New cards

Graduated Guidance

Stepping in only when the client needs help

20
New cards

Shaping

-teaching a new behavior by reinforcing successive approximations of the behavior until the complete behavior is reached

21
New cards

Discrimination Training

setting the occasion for the behavior to occur; providing the "learning opportunity" which can be vocal or non-vocal.

teaching individuals to discriminate between different stimuli or cues in their environment. --The goal is to help individuals learn to respond appropriately to specific cues while ignoring irrelevant or distracting stimuli.

22
New cards

Stimulus Control Transfer

Systematic reduction of prompts and reinforcement to achieve the final goal of stimulus control.

23
New cards

Prompting

The act of helping and supporting your client in order for them to achieve the target response/behavior

24
New cards

Prompting Hierarchy

Starting with least > most

-latency

-visual

-verbal

-gestural

-positional

-modeling

-partial physical

-full physical

25
New cards

Token Systems

visual, tangible and predictable system of positive reinforcement.

System that reinforces Sd with tokens and once all tokens are earned a bigger reinforcement is awarded

26
New cards

Crisis/Emergency

Remain calm, correct position (wedding or thinker), sabotage environment and what we can change to make the situation safer, call for backup if needed

27
New cards

1. Antecedent interventions

2. Differential reinforcement

3. Extinction

1. strategies that STRUCTURE/MODIFY environment & conditions that occur BEFORE a behavior happens so it is less likely to occur.

2. "the better the response, the better the consequence"

-providing reinforcement when correct

-or NOT providing reinforcement when it does NOT occur.

3. the diminishing of a conditioned response.

28
New cards

DRA (differential reinforcement of alternative behavior)

Reinforcers a specific behavior rather than the unwanted behavior

Ex: instead of getting attention for hitting, my client will be reinforced when they raise their hand

29
New cards

DRI (differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior)

Reinforcement of an incompatible behavior that cannot occur at the same time as the unwanted behavior.

Ex: hitting cannot occur when hand are in pocket/ carrying something

30
New cards

DRO (differential reinforcement of other behavior)

reinforcement is delivered whenever the target bx does not occur during a specific time; reinforcement of the absence of the unwanted behavior

31
New cards

Extinction (operant conditioning)

A process by which a response that has been learned is weakened by the absence or removal of reinforcement.

Ex: no longer giving a child attention (reinforcement) for screaming until the behavior no longer occurs

32
New cards

Session Notes

Should be objective, avoid opinions or assumptions of student feeling

Important for insurance as well as to see client progress

33
New cards

Client Dignity

be respectful and thoughtful about the client's needs and wants.

NEVER do or say anything to cause embarrassment to the client.

DO NOT do something in front of your client that you would not do if working with a typical developing child.

34
New cards

Examples of how to maintain client dignity

1. Always follow HIPPA procedures to protect clients information

2. Take extra steps to maintain dignity in vulnerable moments; I.e, disrobing- try to have minimal people able to see your child in that moment

35
New cards

Professional Boundaries examples

1. Maintaining a professional relationship with clients parents regardless of the situation (especially in-home clients where we may spend a lot of time with the family); not accepting large gift, no hanging out or going to family events outside of therapy, not being friends on social media, etc..

2. No gossiping- only speaking about problems or issues you have with someone who can actually help you fix it

3. Being prepared and on-time for session! Looks very unprofessional to walk-in at the same time as your client

4. Accepting constructive feedback and implementing said feedback

36
New cards

Supervision Requirements

5-20% (10% is goal) of a weeks worth of session for the client

-5% minimum, 2 face to face sessions per month

37
New cards

Clinical Direction

Describe a situation in which you'd seek clinical direction from your supervisor

1. Trouble implementing a goal

2. Seeing a new behavior

38
New cards

permanent product

type of discontinuous measurement where you don’t necessarily see the behavior, but rather the end result

ex: a filled out math worksheet

39
New cards

free operant

preference assessment in which the client has no limits on choosing; unrestricted access to numerous activities and items for a predetermined amount of time

40
New cards

Functions of behavior

Escape

Attention
